Hawks or other brand

Hello I am to the point where I am about to start ordering parts for my LS SWAP. I was wondering which motor mount brackets should I purchase. I already have fbody motor mounts, and plan on notching the k member for the AC and for the oil pan. Should I order Hawks brand for $100 shipped or the other ones that is on ebay for $60. I'm running 4L60E transmission if that helps.




$60 shipped



$100 shipped

You should get Spohn, who designed them.

Re: Hawks or other brand

Shouldn't matter which brand you go with. Keep in mind some place the engine in different locations (IE, Holley pushes the engine forward a half inch).

Re: Hawks or other brand

Thank you for the feedback! I think I am going to order the Spohn brand. I dont know why I over thought the motor mounts. Maybe my brain is still fried from making my wire harness.
